ATLANTA (AP) - More than 500 cases of mostly minor side effects have been reported in girls and women who got the new cervical cancer vaccine, but government health officials say no additional warning labels are needed.
Many of the reports involved fainting, but teens tend to faint from vaccinations anyway, health experts said, and the number of cases doesn't exceed what was expected.
"There is absolutely no reason to think that there is anything in this vaccine, as opposed to another vaccine, that's going to make people more likely to faint," said Dr. John Iskander, of the immunization safety office with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
